A COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE PERSPECTIVE ON INSIGHT AS A MEMORY PROCESS: Searching for the Solution

Book section · January 1, 2023 What are the cognitive and brain processes that lead to an insight? In this chapter, we will describe the insight-solution process from a neurocognitive perspective. Inspired by cognitive theories, we translate some of insight’s main cognitive subprocesses ... Full text Cite

Episodic Memory Decline and Healthy Aging

Book section · January 1, 2017 One of the cognitive functions most affected by the aging process is our memory for personally experienced past events or episodic memory (EM). The advent of functional neuroimaging has greatly advanced our knowledge of the neural basis of EM and its decli ... Full text Cite

Episodic memory decline and healthy aging

Book section · January 1, 2016 One of the cognitive functions most affected by the aging process is our memory for personally experienced past events or episodic memory (EM). The advent of functional neuroimaging has greatly advanced our knowledge of the neural basis of EM and its decli ... Full text Cite

Neural Basis of Autobiographical Memory

Book section · May 24, 2012 The results of functional neuroimaging studies of autobiographical memory can inform our understanding of the neural correlates of recollection in several ways. First, autobiographical memory typically involves an integration of episodic and semantic memor ... Full text Cite

Commentary: Neuroscience frontiers of cognitive aging: Approaches to cognitive neuroscience of aging

Book section · March 22, 2012 This chapter describes three methodological approaches of cognitive neuroscience of aging, and for each one, it underscores some interesting findings and notes some current issues. These are the neuropsychological approach, correlational approach, and acti ... Full text Cite

Prefrontal and medial temporal lobe contributions to relational memory in young and older adults

Book section · March 22, 2012 When we remember a past event, we typically remember not only the various components of the event, or item memory (IM), but also the associations among these components, or relational memory (RM). RM is more sensitive than IM to several memory disorders, i ... Full text Cite

Gaze estimation

Book section · December 1, 2011 The main objective of gaze trackers is to provide an accurate estimate of the user's gaze by using the eye tracking information. Gaze, in its most general form, can be considered to be the line of sight or line of gaze, as 3D (imaginary) lines with respect ... Full text Cite

Neuroimaging of Healthy Cognitive Aging

Book section · January 1, 2011 Cognitive aging research and theory has, until recently, been based upon behavioral measures of cognitive performance such as response time and accuracy. Results from behavioral methodologies have indicated a general age-related decline in cognitive functi ... Full text Cite

Age-related changes in hemispheric organization

Book section · May 1, 2009 This chapter links recent behavioral and neuroimaging findings on hemispheric lateralization and aging to general ideas about hemispheric organization. The chapter has three main sections. The first section focuses on hemispheric organization. It reviews e ... Full text Cite

Cognitive Neuroscience of Aging: Emergence of a New Discipline

Book section · May 1, 2009 This chapter begins with a brief discussion of the new discipline of cognitive neuroscience of aging (CNA). The main goal of CNA is to link the effects of aging on cognition to the effects of aging on the brain. An overview of the four main sections of the ... Full text Cite

The Memory Enhancing Effect of Emotion: Functional Neuroimaging Evidence

Book section · January 11, 2008 Emotional events are usually remembered better than neutral events. The anatomical and functional correlates of this phenomenon have been investigated in both animals and humans, with approaches ranging from neuropsychological and pharmacological to electr ...

Episodic memory decline and healthy aging

Book section · January 1, 2007 One of the functions most affected by the aging process is our memory for personally experienced past events, or episodic memory. The advent of human brain imaging techniques has greatly advanced our knowledge of the neural basis of episodic memory and its ... Full text Cite
